"The SFL Texas Conference is a great opportunity to reach new young people and introduce them to the ideas of liberty" said Norman Horn, President of the Libertarian Longhorns.  "We are bringing in top-notch speakers from across the county to share their knowledge with young activists from Texas.  Our Keynote Speaker will be renowned libertarian author and Vice President of the Cato Institute Gene Healy, whose insights on the expansion of presidential power will be invaluable to all attendees." 
 
Other speakers include Anthony Gregory of the Independent Institute and Campaign for Liberty, activist and author Mary Ruwart, Gil Guillory of the Molinari Institute, and Nigel Ashford of the Institute for Humane Studies. A panel discussion on local activism is also planned which will involve some of the most distinguished activist groups in Texas, including representatives from Texans for Accountable Government, the Libertarian Party of Texas, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, and the Institute for Justice.
 
Norman continued, "The conference is focused on students but is open to everyone interested in the ideas of liberty.  It is an extraordinary opportunity that no libertarian, no matter their age, should miss."
